I agree with Vince. I'd convert it to a Fastback, if it were mine, at this point.
Is the shop that originally built this car, a reputable place?
A little rust in a car is one thing. A car like this, which is pretty much rotted out, concealed by a nice new shiny paint job...this is a totally different sermon.
Just wrong!

I think I would have cut my losses and scrapped the car. Man I feel bad for the guy.

I said I wasn't going to add to this thread but I wanted to show what was left of his original Mustang that we could use.



He found a donor body and we will be removing the sheetmetal and epoxy priming everything and fitting new sheetmetal. Today starts the build of his Mustang.

Oh man no love for the coupe ?

The workingman's Mustang ?

Always liked the coupes better (pre '69 of course), they just looked tougher to me. Trans Am racing, bla bla bla.

I think you will like his restomod coupe once we start building it.

I like mine.
